I’m not plugged into all the hype around lk99, but this person seems to be a nice balance of hype, technical background and eagerness to not be wrong about things.

They seem to make a good and simple case for why the superconductor possibility is slipping away (as far as mostly internet hype based replication attempts go)

You can start your case for skepticism from a simple examination of the synthesis process.

I think Newton had a more credible one for aurum.

Just stfu and let them examine, if this is bullshit then they will figure it out, and with extreme prejudice. In that case I wouldn't want to be a North Korean physical chemist.

In the unlikely event that we've somehow witnessed a genuine divine miracle beyond the ken of Gabriel, we can deal with that later.

So if the skeptics and realists are supposed to "stfu" while others attempt to validate the findings, what should the bloggers, tweeters, skeeters, Lemmy users, and weird uncles on facebook do?

Wildly speculate whilst foaming at the mouth?
